I found Dr. Cohen on Yelp in December when I was battling a particularly nasty bout of depression…read more My usual refuges of eating healthier, exercising, or diving into hobbies weren't improving my mood. I lacked motivation, excitement for activities I once loved, and felt incapable of working, so after months of suffering I called Dr. Cohen. I've seen therapists off and on at various stages of my life, typically to talk about how I was currently feeling or my childhood. Though it was nice to talk to someone, I never felt like I made progress, developed coping tools or learned why *like clockwork* I'd spend 1/2 the year in a depressed state. In just a few months since seeing Dr. Cohen, I've had several breakthroughs which have helped me to understand the source of my depression. I'm also learning to be mindful of my triggers, so that I don't feel completely consumed by my emotions. I've been able to return to work and I've gone from being a withdrawn, shell of myself to feeling the full variety of my emotions. I'm still in recovery, but I'm learning to be patient with myself, to be kinder to myself, and to be more flexible. I wish I'd had Dr. Cohen earlier in my life, but I'm thankful to be in her care now and have her support. If you're ready to earnestly put in the work to get better, do yourself a favor and give her a call today.

For the plus side, I think she's a decent listener and she would be a good therapist for people…read morethat mostly have their lives together and have a lot of money to spend on therapy. I think for any struggling individual, I would strongly recommend avoiding her as a doctor/therapist. Dr. Cohen saw my mother 1-4 times a month over the course of a year. To list out all of the unprofessional, uncaring, ways Dr. Cohen has treated my mother and me as clients would take too long to write and too long to read, so I'll try to stick with the bigger issues. 1. Dr. Cohen discharged my mother from her care due to her and me being "too difficult of clients" before going on a month-long vacation. I believe Dr. Cohen's health isn't what it once was, and I believe at this point in her career she is only looking for "easy" cases. 2. After discharging my mother from her care, Dr. Cohen kindly gave us a few months of prescription refills. After I was unable to get them extended by a few urgent care doctors and came to Dr. Cohen for help, she refused to extend any refills. I offered to pay for another session in exchange for one last extension. She reluctantly agreed, called the pharmacy to extend the prescription by one final month, and then charged me $900 for 3 sessions. This is months after discharging us from her care and she has never seen us since, the only care she has given us was a phone call to the pharmacy. *EDIT* Dr. Cohen has since refunded us $900 after seeing this yelp review and receiving calls from my credit card company. 3. Dr. Cohen prides herself on therapy over drugs. Her website and my first meetings with her convinced me that she was someone I could trust to really attempt to fix problems rather than increasing drug dosages. I was wrong. For every new issue that came up, Dr. Cohen's first response was to recommend increasing medication dosages. For my mother's drowsiness during the day, the first thing she recommended was to increase her sleeping medication rather than focusing on behaviors that could have impacted her sleep (caffeine intake, lack of exercise, etc.) Aside from those big 3 issues, there were a handful of minor issues that I've seen in some other yelp reviews. 4. She often, and unnecessarily, takes client time to fumble with technology. She is very clearly not technically proficient, yet she insists on using client time to attempt to set up apps / open google spreadsheets, etc. She doesn't come prepared to sessions and doesn't want to do any of this outside of client time. 5. Despite my mother's native tongue clearly not being English, Dr. Cohen speaks overly academically and focuses more on expressing herself vs. being understood. Her language was often either pretentious or condescending, with little in-between. 6. After almost every session, she encouraged me to write a Yelp review. Maybe just a pet peeve but I don't think you should give subpar service and then ask your customer to write a review. Overall, I think there are people out there that Dr. Cohen is capable of helping. However, I genuinely do not believe that Dr. Cohen is capable of helping people that are actually in need of help. For that reason I believe her to be the most disappointing medical professional I have ever come across.

Dr. Collisson has definitely changed my life and arguably saved it…read more I've gone from life-threatening crisis to full recovery over the last year and a half. After 6 years of misdiagnosis and over-medication I was suffering from extreme chronic illness both physically and mentally. I came to her on at least 8 long-term medications, disabled and in total crisis. Through detailed testing, attentive personal conversations and her connecting and coordinating with my other specialists, Dr. Collisson pieced together the wicked puzzle that eluded at least a dozen prior doctors. I am no longer disabled at all. She empowered me to finally understand and control my own health. Today I feel healthier and stronger than I was in my 20s. I've only maintained one of the 8 medications and I've reduced the dose. I'm on one new permanent medication, but it's making a clearly understood and observable improvement to my health. I can't thank her enough! ...It's no small wonder that she is so over-subscribed and unable to accept new patients.

Dr. Collisson is an exceptional physician whose focus is mind-body healing. She works with people…read moreseeking healthier lifestyles, including patients wishing to overcome sleep issues, improve diet, and/or manage stress more effectively. She works with individuals to discover the root causes of the situation and to find a holistic approach to healing. Not only is Dr. Collisson a great listener, but she is an incredibly intuitive person who is sincerely interested in one's well-being. Her process of learning about me and my lifestyle is very organic; conversation is very relaxed and never feels forced. She has a fantastic sense of humor, too, which helps to maintain a sense of balance in discussions. I like that she is dedicated to spending an entire hour with you each time, to maximize the outcomes of the visit (unlike most doctors I've been to, I never feel rushed). She is very good at piecing together aspects of one's life and using that information for individualized treatment. Going to Dr. Collisson is the best decision I've ever made in terms of my health, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an integrative medicine specialist.

She is in tune with her patients and is both empathetic and present. Her gentle nature and reflective listening are integral to her ability to help her patients.

Her intelligence, insights and brilliance in addition to her calming, unassuming and warm presence are a rare, yet perfect combination and clients thrive under her care. In fact, I think so highly of Dr. Kothari and trust her work so much that, when I went on leave from a position where my patients meant so much to me, I could think of no one better than Dr. Kothari to take over their care and she graciously covered the position for me. She was incredibly well received by clients and staff alike and I felt confident and comforted knowing my clients were receiving the best treatment under Dr. Kothari. I am thrilled to hear she now has her own practice. As a psychologist at Stanford University in a specialty clinic, we are always looking for skilled clinicians in the Bay Area we can refer to and Dr. Kothari will now be my top referral.

This ensures her clients are getting the most effective, efficient, and current treatments available. Thank you for the numerous, generous and caring ways you are helping people and changing this world for the better, Dr. Kothari.

Recently, I tried to revisit it and found it had been removed from my platform on Teachable. After multiple attempts to contact the creator via email and Instagram (with no response for weeks), I finally received the course materials--after leaving a public review. The course content itself was helpful at the time I originally took it. That said, the experience of trying to re-access it was confusing and disheartening. Communication was delayed, and the energy around the business seems very different from when I first signed up. I'm glad I was eventually able to complete the course, but I would recommend anyone considering it to ask detailed questions upfront about platform access and support.
